The show is a 鈥渜uintessential backstage musical comedy,鈥� according to Stacey Jones, associate vice chancellor of campus and community events.
鈥淚t鈥檚 what I would call an old school song and dance,鈥� Jones said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 got one of the best openings I鈥檝e ever seen on Broadway. The curtain rises, and it鈥檚 excitement all the way through. It鈥檒l be a great family show for everybody to see.鈥�
